(This fits in with my explanation in my last comment.) I don't think that your body temperature could ever get so high that your blood would boil, but it might do the opposite and thicken, but... again... I think it'd require slamming.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015183155330967608.post-34814038452259981682011-09-02T22:09:48.015-07:002011-09-02T22:09:48.015-07:00First, I'm not sure about blood boiling, eithe...First, I'm not sure about blood boiling, either. But, physiologically (or, actually, just physically - according to the universal laws of physics, that is), any liquid will boil at a specific temperature, but the temperature at which it boils changes with the amount of pressure put on it. The water near hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Ocean reaches 900 degrees and doesn't boil because of the pressure. Water in the cold vacuum of space will boil at absolute zero. So, I'd love to learn more about this supposed boiling of blood and what it means. My guess is that is a term that is used for users who slam and get air bubbles in their veins (which can cause, among other things, heart attack and death).<br /><br />I am at the point where I think it's probably best for certain kinds of addicts to belong in jail. Being the liberal I am, though, I'm afraid to put specific boundaries on who would fit the bill. At one time or another, I'm sure I belonged in jail. (And to contradict myself, I'm sure that, if I did end up in jail, I'd either be dead or still using.) What do you think about that?<br /><br />Pseudo ephedrine is an important drug. It does a lot of things for a lot of conditions and alleviates a lot of discomfort for people who aren't addicts. The Patriot Act already made it pretty difficult to buy in huge quantities, so, I think taking things out on the large pharmacy chains or pharmaceutical makers is a little crazy. It's like wagging the dog.<br /><br />Nice rant, by the way.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.com
